When asked our favorite sport, the standard, and most common, reply is football, volleyball, tennis, cricket, etc. But if you truly like sports—and want to try something adventurous—then jump out of the convention and try these adereline inducing, totally accessible extreme sports.
- Freshwater cave diving
Sky diving might be considered an extreme sport by some, but descending into a hole in the earth to explore a submerged cave system is next-level stuff.
- Zorbing
Zorbing is the sport of rolling downhill inside an orb, generally made of transparent plastic.
- Hummer Desert Safari
Popularly found in the deserts of Dubai, the hummer H2 desert safari is a thrilling dune bashing ride in a hummer H2.
- Highlining
Rope walking at a much higher altitude, in this extreme sport the highliner has to walk on an inch-wide rope, with only a safety harness tethered to the rope.
- Volcano Surfing
In this relatively new sport, the surfer has to climb up a volcano and then surf it down using only plywood boards. It’s only the name that is frightening, truly.
- Bungee jumping
Quite popular among thrill seekers, Bungee jumping is a sport like no other. It involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord.
- Mountain biking
A great way to burn calories, mountain biking is the sport of riding bicycles off-road, often over rough terrain, using specially designed mountain bikes. Though it sounds easy enough, the sport requires endurance, core strength and balance, bike handling skills, and self-reliance.
- Kayaking
Not really an extreme sport in the traditional sense of the word, kayaking is a water based sport full of excitement. In this sport, you require a “Kayak” for moving across water. Kayak is a one man boat made of wood or PVC.
- Glacier Climbing
Forget mountain climbing, glacier climbing is the new hiking activity that has become widely popular. Glacier climbing involves the use of special equipment, like crampons, rows, suspender belts, helmets and ice axes. Great Himalayas and Norway are preferred locations.
- Hang Gliding
See the world with a bird’s eye view with lots of excitement and adventure. Hang gliding is similar to that of skiing but only difference lies in medium of operation. In this air sport a pilot flies a light, non-motorized foot-launched heavier-than-air aircraft called a hang glider.
- Flying Fox
Slide down a zip line supported by a safety cable. It is designed to enable a user propelled by gravity to travel from the top to the bottom of the inclined cable by holding on to, or attaching to, the freely moving pulley.
- Kite Surfing
An extreme combination of water boarding and paragliding, kite surfing involves the surfer moving through the waves and propelling himself forward with a controllable power kite.
